Automaker Stellantis NV said it would suspend its Covid-19 vaccine mandate for US employees, days after the country's Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden's vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses.
"With more than 97 per cent of our US salaried non-represented workforce in compliance or with an approved exemption - the company has decided to suspend the full implementation of the vaccine mandate", Stellantis said on Friday.
Stellantis said in November it required all its 14,000 US salaried non-represented employees to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by January 5.
The Amsterdam-based Chrysler parent said on Friday it would continue to monitor the situation and the guidance of public health authorities to make any modifications necessary to its policy.
